Discussion 1 - Explain when patent protection arises

Discussion post 1: 

Explain when patent protection arises and identify what rights it provides to a patent owner. Further identify and discuss the moral philosophies you have learned and explain how they might justify patent protection. Be sure to identify and discuss the predominant moral justification in the U.S. Constitution for patent protection. For that moral justification, explain whether it is consistent with a Biblical worldview, and compare it with the other justifications and explain whether some other justification is more consistent with a Biblical worldview.

Be sure to consider the costs of developing patent protectable material and examine whether that consideration is important to a Biblicalworld view of patent protection. You may use any material from the Bible to support your explanation.
